Commentary
Anselm’s parentage:
There appears to only have been one Anselm Ridler active in the period, which makes it easy to identify his baptism as that in Whitminister in 1696/7 of Anselm son of Roberd and Sarah Ridler. In his 1698 will, Robert Ridler of Standish names his wife Sarah and son Anselm. He also names his two “brothers” Anselm Bayly and William Bayly, which implies that his wife Sarah was a Bayly. In his 1689 will, Anselm Bayly of Standish names his son Anselm and daughter Sarah.
